Women 

‘drugged 

and 

sexually 

assaulted’ 

at city 

restaurant 

• By Sophie Cornish 

TWO WOMEN say they were 

drugged and sexually assaulted 

at a central city restaurant. 

Police are waiting for forensic 

results and have spoken to “a 

number of people of interest,” 

said Detective Senior Sergeant 

Scott Anderson yesterday. 

He said the two women had 

laid complaints with the police 

last month. 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Anderson said the women had 

been socialising and drinking 

at Mama Hooch in Colombo St, 

prior to being “taken to another 

location.” 

He would not disclose the 

location. 

But The Star has learned that 

it was at a restaurant which had 

closed for the evening. 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Anderson said the two women 

knew each other. 

“Part of their complaint is that 

they were drugged,” he said. 

He said the offending was “at 

the higher end of the scale.” 

He wouldn’t be drawn 

on further details of the 

investigation, other than it was 

“ongoing.”

A CANTERBURY University law 

student being investigated for a 

sexual assault has been allowed to 

go overseas on a study-related trip. 

Bu the university’s dean of 

law Ursula Cheer is refusing to 

discuss the matter. 

“I can’t comment 

about any 

of this because 

of confidentiality 

and privacy,” she 

told The Star 

yesterday. 

The Star has 

learned a female 

student has laid 

a complaint abou the accused 

being allowed to go on the trip. 

It is understood it is no the 

same person who has laid the 

sexual assault complain to the 

police. 

The Star has been told it is a 

rape investigation. 

The Star sent a number of questions 

to Canterbury University 

yesterday but none would be answered. 

Said Canterbury University 

spokeswoman Margaret Agnew: 

“UC cannot respond to allegations 

that are before the police.” 

She referred the questions 

back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was 

turned off. 

Police would also not comment 

on the matter. 

The overseas trip involves 

both male and female law students.

Megan gets over another hurdle 

The Star has been 

following the Hore 

family’s bid to get 

their daughter Megan 

to Disneyland Paris. 

Julia Evans reports on 

her last chemotherapy 

session 

TOMORROW will be a big day 

for Megan Hore. 

The plucky 18-year-old will 

finally be home after finishing 

her sixth and final round of 

chemotherapy at Christchurch 

Hospital, on Monday, to treat 

the bone cancer which she 

has been battling for the last 

year. 

“She’s finished her 

chemotherapy and is on hyper 

hydration for the rest of the week 

to flush it out, they’re saying 

we’ll be out of here on Friday,” 

Megan’s mother Marilyn said. 

When visited by The Star on 

Tuesday, Megan said physically 

she felt fine. 

“But mentally, I feel bleh.” 

Megan is the daughter of wellknown 

blind organist Richard 

Hore who busks at Countdown 

in the Bush Inn Centre to raise 

money to send her Disneyland 

Paris. 

The teenager has spent the majority 

of a year in the children’s 

haematology oncology centre at 

the hospital. 

“She’s holding up okay, but 

reality has really hit home. We’re 

finished treatment, now we’re 

into the recovery phase,” Mrs 

Hore said. 

Disney-fanatic Megan has

made a bucket list to go to every 

Disneyland theme park on the 

planet. 

They were set to go to Disneyland 

Paris before Megan received 

her cancer diagnosis and they 

had to cancel their flights. 

Air New Zealand held the 

money and in 23 days the family 

is using it to go to Hong Kong 

Disneyland. Megan was only 

granted special leave from doctors 

to be out of the country for 

four days. 

Also on her bucket list is going 

to Oamaru to see penguins, 

Hanmer Springs to visit The Lolly 

Pot store to stock up on candy, 

having a functioning body and 

enrolling at Canterbury University 

to study English. 

“I missed out on university 

entrance by one credit,” Megan 

said. “I want to email them and 

say can you just let me in, I’ve 

had cancer.” 

When back from Asia, 

Megan will be back in hospital 

for testing to see if the 

treatment has done the trick. 

Megan will have to undergo 

scans and tests every three months 

to check for cancer for the next 

five years. If cells are found, her 

diagnosis will become terminal. 

The family are remaining 

positive. 

“We’re not ready to be a threecog 

unit, we’re better with four 

cogs,” Mrs Hore said. 

Mrs Hore said at this stage 

doctors had indicated it would 

be a “good result.” 

The Star’s article on the cancer 

battle shared widely on social 

media, and a Givealittle page 

set up to help the family raise 

money, has been boosted to more 

than $10,000. 

Disney on Ice hosted the Hore 

family at a show at Horncastle 

Arena, as well as meeting Mickey

Now he is going to help blind 

organist Richard Hore and his 

family get to Disneyland Paris 

with daughter Megan, who is 

undergoing chemotherapy for 

cancer, by donating four paintings. 

“I was reading your article in 

The Star about Megan Hore and 

I knew I could help,” he said. 

The four paintings will be 

finished tomorrow. 

“I’ve even drawn up a couple 

of new ones that I’ve never 

painted before so it will be interesting 

to see how those turn 

out,” Downes said. 

Megan’s mother Marilyn Hore 

said the donation was “amazing” 

news for her Disney-fanatic 

daughter. 

It is planned three paintings 

will be auctioned off to raise 

money. 

TOP BLOKE: Redwood artist Rangi Downes with an example 

of the art work he will donate to the Hore family. 

The Star has approached 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, 

former All Blacks great Richie 

McCaw and Commonwealth 

Games gold medal shot-putter 

Tom Walsh to sign them. 

Megan met Walsh following 

his Commonwealth Games win 

last year. 

“I absolutely fan-girled. I got 

to wear his medals and hold his 

shot put,” she said. 

The fourth painting will be 

kept by the Hore family. 

Downes said he wanted to 

help the family because he knew 

battling cancer was expensive. 

“It’s nice to be helping someone 

out who wants to live.” 

His art is hanging up in 51 

hospitals and doctors’ offices 

around the South Island. 

Chlorine out, UV in 

• By Julia Evans 

ONE OF the city’s largest pump 

stations may be permanently free 

of chlorine by June. 

The city council is expected to 

approve a $2.25 million ultraviolet 

light disinfection 

system for one of the 

city’s largest water 

supplies, Main Pumps 

station, at the south 

end of Colombo St. 

“The advantages of 

UV treatment is there 

are no taste and odour 

effects – we think we 

could have it installed 

at Main Pumps within 

10 to 12 months,’’ said 

city council water supply 

programme manager Helen 

Beaumont. 

The station takes water from 

six wells and feeds about 11 

per cent of the central zone, 

which provides water to about 

185,000 people. The city council 

is investigating bringing in UV 

treatment at “a number” of pump 

stations around the city, which 

can’t be secured otherwise. 

“We will not have a timeline 

for implementation until we have 

completed concept designs and 

estimated the costs for the plant 

required at each pump station,” 

Ms Beaumont said. A report is 

expected in October. 

Ms Beaumont said the city 

council has sufficient funds to 

complete the work that has been 

scoped for this financial year. 

“Further work needs 

to be done before we can 

provide the total costs 

for the longer term water 

supply improvement 

programme.” 

It comes as 10 pump 

stations around the city, 

which feed more than 

a quarter of the water 

supply, have become 

chlorine-free this 

Helen 

Beaumont 

month. 

The latest, Thompsons 

pump station, was stopped on 

Tuesday. 

But Ms Beaumont said it would 

only be possible during low water 

demand, such as winter, so water 

conservation would be needed 

through summer. 

Almost all of the city’s water 

supply was chlorinated in March 

after the city council voted for 

12 months of chlorination, 

while unsecure well heads were 

repaired in January. 

Ms Beaumont said the timeline 

was “challenging”, but it remains 

the target.

Cases of animal abuse on the 

SPCA Canterbury is investigating a video shared 

on social media of what appears to be a cat being 

tortured and killed by teenagers. Sophie Cornish spoke 

to SPCA staff about how its investigations work 

EMACIATED animals, dogs 

being beaten and stabbed, 

illegal trapping and a lack of 

vet treatment for serious health 

issues. 

These are the common issues 

faced by five SPCA Canterbury 

inspectors on a daily basis. 

They cover an area that includes 

the city, North Canterbury 

to the Hurunui 

River, as well as 

Hanmer Springs 

across to the West 

Coast and as far 

south as Ashburton 

and the 

Rangitata River. 

Barry 

Helem 

There are currently 

20 active 

investigations 

and “the cases are 

piling up,” says SPCA southern 

region general manager Barry 

Helem. 

One case was reported in 

The Star earlier this month, in 

which two youths were accused 

of torturing and killing a cat. 

Videos of the incident were put 

on social media then sent to 

SPCA Canterbury. 

While it may not have been a 

deliberate act, SPCA Canterbury 

is investigating and it could take 

three months or more for an 

outcome to be decided. 

Mr Helem believes posttraumatic 

stress disorder 

after the earthquakes and 

other mental health issues has 

resulted in an increase in calls 

to the SPCA. A spike in animal 

welfare complaints about three 

years after the earthquakes also 

correlated with what police and 

domestic violence groups like 

Women’s Refuge New Zealand 

experienced. 

“It’s about the three-year 

mark where we see these social 

concerns really come out in the 

community,” said Mr Helem. 

However, the number continues 

to increase. From 2016-2017, 

there was a 20 per cent increase 

in both the number of calls and 

the animals cared for at SPCA 

Canterbury. 

Its senior inspector Sam Cairns

to eat and in extreme pain and distress, His former owner 

has been prosecuted. 

said “mental health hoarding” is 

a growing problem. 

“It’s not unusual for people to 

have 200 rabbits in their backyard, 

it’s very common and very 

problematic . . . it’s really difficult 

because the people are suffering 

as well.” 

An investigation will usually 

begin with a phone call from a 

member of the public, which is 

then screened and vetted. 

Often staff will attend straight 

away and the unpredictability of 

the situation can be “quite fullon” 

for investigators, said Miss 

Cairns. 

“Initially, it’s like an ambulance 

scene. We will deal with the 

suffering first . . . we take care 

of the animal and its needs and 

mitigate all those problems.” 

Miss Cairns and other 

inspectors will then collate 

information to form a case. 

This may include interviewing 

witnesses, vet reports, lab and 

autopsy results and compiling

through an internal review 

system before a course of action 

can be taken. 

“Because we are using charity 

money, we don’t want to go 

to prosecution and not win it 

because it costs a lot,” said Mr 

Helem. 

“It’s pretty robust what we are 

putting forward. We have to be 

confident it is going to be a successful 

prosecution at the end of 

that,” said Miss Cairns. 

Both the SPCA and police can 

prosecute under the Animal 

Welfare Act 1999, and often work 

together, especially with violent 

offenders.

“Often we will turn up and it 

is the same sort of clientele that 

the police deal with. We might 

do a background check or know 

from the caller that the person 

is violent. Sometimes we have 

no idea, it depends on a caseby-case 

basis,” said Miss Cairns. 

For the most part, Mr Helem 

says a large number of complaints 

result in verbal advice. 

Often education letters will 

be sent out, which include the 

Codes of Welfare under the 

Act. 

In more 

serious 

cases, 

a formal warning can be issued 

– a legal document that will 

appear on an offenders file and 

can be used to build a 

prosecution 

case. 

Only 

a small 

amount 

of cases 

will go to prosecution 

through 

the courts. Out 

of 1420 

calls last year, 13 charges were 

laid by SPCA Canterbury 

and 39 formal warnings were 

issued. Mr Helem is calling 

on people to support the 

animals cared for by 

the SPCA. 

Volunteers, 

donations and new 

owners are needed to 

help with the increasing 

workload. 

“We are really trying to build 

our foster parent programme 

. . . a sheltered environment 

is not safe for animals when 

their stress levels are up, their 

immune systems are compromised 

and they get sick easily. 

The more we get them into 

homes, the better.”

Breathing life into the city’s oldest 

Heritage buildings 

around the city and 

Banks Peninsula 

are getting a new 

lease of life as 

the city council 

starts investigating 

potential uses. Julia 

Evans reports 

THE ROBERT McDougall Art 

Gallery will once again have 

work hanging on its walls as it 

gets a new lease of life. 

Plans to carry out further work 

on the gallery to make it weather 

tight, while exploring future 

uses, have been confirmed by the 

city council. 

It will investigate the option 

of carrying out further repair 

and strengthening work so the 

building can be leased for the 

display of art, decorative art and 

crafts and supporting activities. 

“We remain committed to 

making the most of this lovely 

gallery building tucked away 

in the Botanic Gardens,” city 

council citizens and community 

principal adviser Brent Smith 

said. 

It is part of a wider public 

call by the city council to seek 

future uses for heritage buildings 

around the city. 

The city council has confirmed 

it is also investigating the 

potential use of the Old 

Municipal Chambers, Thomas 

Edmonds Band Rotunda and 

Thomas Edmonds Pavilion. 

It will explore the viability 

of short-listed expressions of 

interest for the buildings and 

carry out several investigations 

into possible future uses. 

“We are re-looking at one of 

the buildings, the Old Municipal 

Chambers, and plan to carry out 

a further (expression of interest) 

to collect additional information 

CURATE: The city council has committed to restoring

from interested parties,” Mr 

Smith said. 

“We are also investigating 

options to repair, strengthen and 

upgrade the building ourselves, 

so that we can potentially lease 

all, or part, of the site, or operate 

the building ourselves as we did 

pre-earthquake.” 

Mr Smith said the Thomas 

Edmonds Band Rotunda must 

be reconstructed and restored to 

function as a stage for musical 

performances. 

“When it comes to the 

pavilion, we hope that the use 

of the building will complement 

activities at the rotunda.”

WORK: The Thomas Edmonds band rotunda and pavilion 

will also be restored. 

Staff will report back to the city 

council with recommendations 

for each building before the end 

of the year. 

The city council has completed 

a separate application process to 

explore funding and future use 

options for 13 heritage buildings. 

City council general manager 

citizens and community Mary 

Richard said Chokebore Lodge at 

Riccarton Racecourse, Penfold’s 

Cob Cottage, Little River Railway 

Goods Shed, Kapuatohe Dwelling 

and Kapuatohe Cottage in Belfast, 

Spreydon’s Coronation Hall, and 

Kukupa Hostel in Pigeon Bay 

have received funding in the Long 

Term Plan. 

“Chokebore Lodge will be for 

residential, Penfold’s Cob Cottage 

is being restored for education 

purposes. The Little River Railway 

Goods Shed will be restored 

as a storage shed,” she said. 

Ms Richardson said the future 

use of Kapuatohe Dwelling, Kapuatohe 

Cottage, Coronation Hall 

and Kukupa Hostel is yet to be 

determined. 

But the city council will be 

consulting on whether they will 

be for commercial or community 

use. 

Ms Richardson said the other 

heritage buildings, which did not 

yet have funding set aside, would 

continue to be cared for by the 

city council. 

“The other buildings will 

be maintained to stop further 

deterioration until funding is 

available in the Long Term Plan 

for restoration.”

STOLEN URNS belonging to a 

widow were part of a $100,000 

antique haul seized in a police 

sting last week. 

Retired Woolston resident Jill 

Walker made a plea in The Star 

last month for the return of the 

copper urns that were restored 

by her late husband of 43 years, 

Barry Walker. 

Police executed a search warrant 

at an address on Aynsley 

Tce, St Martins, 

last week. A 

29-year-old-man 

and a 44-yearold 

woman were 

charged with 

burglary and 

Jill Walker receiving stolen 

property. 

On Tuesday, the two alleged 

offenders entered no plea in the 

district court and will appear 

again on September 11. 

Other items recovered include 

outdoor ornamental pots, 

statues, street lamps, wrought 

iron gates, and other antiques, 

police said. 

Detective Karen Simmons 

said the alleged burglars targeted 

antiques and the items 

were stolen around Beckenham, 

Opawa, Somerfield and 

Woolston. 

Said Detective Simmons: “To 

be able to return the urns to the 

victim and her family is absolutely 

wonderful. 

“We do still have a number 

of items that we haven’t identified 

an owner for, and we’d 

obviously like to get these back 

where they belong.” 

Mrs Walker said the copper 

urns were one of the few memories 

left of Mr Walker, who 

passed away nine years ago. She 

was delighted that the items 

were found. 

“It’s just wonderful news,” 

Mrs Walker said. 

She thanked everyone who

sent in messages of support 

after her appeal for help. 

“I’m sure the newspaper article 

helped. When a lot of people 

know about it, it makes it hard 

to get rid of it doesn’t it?” 

Mrs Walker now plans to 

plant two camellia plants called 

‘donation’ in the urns because 

her husband was an organ 

donor. 

“Once they are full of dirt 

they will be much harder [to 

steal].”

‘Dad jokes’ keep traffic moving at school 

Caretaker’s 

humour solves 

parking woes 

• By Sarla Donovan 

A QUIRKY initiative to keep 

traffic moving outside Mt 

Pleasant School has made a huge 

difference. 

Like many schools, there were 

parking issues at drop-off and 

pick-up times created by people 

leaving their vehicles and not 

parking correctly. 

So caretaker Simon Hillyer 

came up with a novel idea. 

He made humorous signs, 

laminated them and put them up 

on the 2min loading zone sign 

outside the school. 

The signs get rotated every 

week, with the Crusaders, Bart 

Simpson, Star Wars and Top Gun 

providing inspiration. 

Along with Mr Hillyer’s own 

dad-joke sensibilities. 

It’s a non-confrontational approach 

which seems to have hit 

the spot. 

School office manager Carolyn 

Wright said people eagerly 

awaited the next instalment. 

“The pressure’s on him now to 

come up with the new stuff,” she 

said. 

Last week the school bell 

played Highway to the Danger 

Zone to co-ordinate with the Top 

Gun-themed signs. 

Mr Hillyer said results had 

exceeded expectations.

he said. 

“It seems to have got the kids 

talking about it as well. They 

don’t quite understand what 

the sign means sometimes, like 

the Bison dad joke, so they start 

chatting to mum or dad about 

it.” 

Where does he get his inspiration 

from?

Yukon race winners return home 

Christchurch 

policewoman Wendy 

Riach and her 

partner, engineer 

Ian Huntsman, have 

returned from the 

Alaskan wilderness 

after completing – 

and winning – the 

Yukon 1000. It’s 

the world’s longest 

canoe race. The 

couple tell reporter 

Sarla Donovan how 

they beat 20 other 

contenders 

Tell me about the Yukon – is 

it a fast-flowing river? 

The river usually flows at 

7km/h. However, this year it was 

at a very low flow. According 

to the locals, this was due to it 

being an inordinately cold early 

summer with much less snow 

melt than usual. We could tell 

after the first day of racing that 

our times were going to be slow 

in comparison to earlier years as 

the river was flowing 1-2km/h 

slower than in 2014 when we last 

raced. Unfortunately this meant 

no new race records for canoes 

or kayaks this year. 

Alaska has this legendary 

quality, a final-frontier 

mystique. How did it feel to be 

out there in the wilderness? 

It’s big, it seems infinite, there 

are very few roads, almost no 

sign of human occupation, it 

really does belong to the wild 

animals who live there. We felt 

like trespassers, we watched 

our step when we were ashore 

and attempted to leave no trace 

behind. 

Does it feel different to NZ? 

Unforgiving, bigger and the 

climate is different. The weather 

is completely unpredictable, the 

skies are very busy with active 

clouds, you can never tell when 

the next thunderstorm will be or 

when the sun will emerge and it 

will be instantly over 35 deg C. 

You were out for six days and 

WHITE NIGHTS: Ian Huntsman gets ready to make camp just before midnight on the 

fourth day. Huntsman and Wendy Riach only slept for about four hours each night during 

the Yukon 1000 race in Canada. 

14 hours – could you describe a 

typical day? 

The alarm in our tent goes off 

at 4am. It’s light outside but cold, 

like say 7.30am in Christchurch 

at the moment. It takes us an 

hour to pack up our sleeping 

bags and tent, cook porridge and 

hot chocolate, sort out our race 

food for 17-18 hours of paddling, 

put our paddling gear back on 

and launch the kayak. About 

20min later we eat porridge 

while sitting in the current of 

the river. Then it’s continuous 

paddling with a few 5min stops 

to eat heavy, fatty foods like 

salami and cheese. Salami was 

eaten in the morning, say about 

9am at our most sleepy time 

of the day. It has a sharp taste 

and keeps you awake. Cheese 

was eaten in the mid to late 

afternoon to keep paddling 

strength up until dinner time. 

To be competitive, we had to 

paddle each day until between 

10pm and 11pm each night. We 

found after the first day that we 

were too exhausted to cook and 

eat properly at 11pm so we made 

a decision to stop every night 

at around 8pm and go ashore 

for 15min to cook dinner. This 

was the only time we got out of 

the kayak during the 18-hour 

days. We boiled enough water 

VIEW: Wendy Riach looks 

out at the southern end of 

Lake Laberge on the first 

day of the race. 

for our dinner and another hot 

drink in the Thermos. Once 

our dehydrated Backcountry 

meals were prepared, we resealed 

the foil bags and jumped back 

into the kayak. We ate dinner 

sitting in the kayak with the 

current of the river still taking us 

forward. This cooking and eating 

method limited the amount 

of bear 

precautions 

we needed 

to complete 

when we 

finally came 

ashore at 

night. When 

we got 

ashore, we 

bear-proofed 

all our 

remaining 

food and 

rubbish, 

put up the 

tent, tended 

to blisters, 

trench foot 

and chafe 

with the first 

aid kit, and 

then went 

to sleep for 

between 

three hours 

Wendy Riach 

Ian Huntsman 

45min and four hours 15min per 

night. It was never dark enough 

at night to use a head torch. On 

our last night, the sun shone into 

our tent at 11.15pm and turned it 

into a sauna for a few minutes. 

Did you see any other people 

during the race? 

For the first nine hours, we 

were swapping leads with a very 

talented canoe called Team 

Hobos.

Paddling 1609km in six days, 14hr 55min 


•From page 14 

They were following us down a 

tricky section called the ‘30 mile’ 

until they got stuck on a sandbar. 

We didn’t see them again until 

we welcomed them over the 

finish line. We had a great time 

catching up at the Yukon River 

Camp and later at Fairbanks 

with the other crews after they 

finished. For the remainder of 

the race we did not see anyone, 

except for a brief stop at the 

Alaskan border village of Eagle. 

How were the bears and bugs? 

We saw one brown bear 

(grizzly) just downstream of 

Dawson City early on our fourth 

day. The bear was very shy and 

was on an island in the river; 

he headed back into the forest 

when he saw us paddle by. Other 

animal highlights included 

seeing a lynx, lots of beaver and 

many moose with their calves as 

well as a rare wolverine on the 

last day. The bugs were largely 

insignificant, we were up too 

early and making camp too late 

for them to bother us. 

Do you get sore arms/hands – 

where did it hurt? 

We hadn’t recovered from 

racing the Yukon River Quest 

three weeks before. This had the 

unpleasant effect of our injuries 

from the earlier race resurfacing 

on days one and two, such as 

blisters on our hands. Inflamed 

tendon attachments, particularly 

in the hamstring area, were 

a real problem. We didn’t 

take any anti-inflammatory 

medications as our previous 

experience had proven these to 

be sleep-inducing. I think over 

the course of the race, Ian and I 

took two Panadol tablets each for 

pain relief. We used antiseptic, 

antibacterial, anti-fungal creams 

and barrier creams to keep 

general infections and trench 

foot at bay. At times we were in 

agony, but we were always able to 

change something, like swapping 

seat cushions, back rests, or foot 

rests to find a way of reducing 

or eliminating the cause of the 

injury. 

OVERNIGHT: Wendy Riach and Ian Huntsman make their last camp 200km from the 

finish in Alaska at 11.30pm. 

We also carried a variety of 

wrist braces which we used when 

our arms became fatigued. Ian 

also downsized his paddle blade 

to protect his wrists. 

Were there any ‘OMG!’ 

moments? 

On day five, we spent two 

and a half hours paddling with 

less than 10m visibility due 

to wildfire smoke. There was 

very little wind in the river at 

that point, we had seen the fire 

burning on the banks of the river 

but the smoke lay thick on the 

water for a lot further than we 

anticipated. 

It was rather frightening, as 

the smoke was thick and acrid 

and it seemed to go on forever. 

Eventually a strong wind came 

up and blew the smoke away and 

we popped out the other side. 

I think it was compulsory 

to stop and sleep for six 

hours – would you just pull 

up at a likely looking spot 

on the riverbank? 

We always looked forward to 

camping for the night, the sky 

would soften to a golden colour, 

the air temperature cooled down 

a bit and the wind was generally 

a bit calmer. It was a great time 

of the day. We would choose a 

spot (often on a small island) 

on sand or gravel at least 10m 

distant from any bush from 

which a bear might appear. 

We checked for animal 

tracks and scat as soon as we 

got ashore. We didn’t find 

fresh bear prints at any of our 

campsites and always had a 

good night sleep. We didn’t 

light any fires and went to sleep 

as soon as possible. We had a 

roomy lightweight tent that was 

completely bug-proof and had 

bear-spray cans in the tent with 

us as well as wearing bear bells 

when on land. 

The two of you must get along 

pretty well. What’s the secret? 

It takes a lot of energy to 

win an expedition race such as 

this one. We both had really 

low points due to injuries 

(luckily at different times) 

which recurred and sleepiness 

as a result of pain. Empathy 

and consideration are key 

elements coupled with absolute 

determination to win. Without 

that determination, it would 

be too easy to give in to the 

pain and discomfort. You also 

need almost flawless paddling 

technique to keep the paddle 

strokes ticking over at maximum 

efficiency without irreversibly 

damaging tendons and muscles. 

How did you celebrate the 

win? 

We hung out with the race 

organisers, Jon and Harry, 

at the Dalton Bridge and 

welcomed the next three kayaks 

and canoes across the finish 

line. We all stayed together 

and talked for days about our 

shared experiences. All are 

incredibly talented people 

and we have forged strong 

friendships through our shared 

experiences. I can’t think of a 

better way to celebrate. 

Can you describe your 

preparation? 

Planning and preparation 

took about nine months. Most 

of it was boring stuff such as 

booking leave from work, flights, 

accommodation, transfers 

etc. We hired our kayak many 

months in advance and fitted it 

out three days before the race 

with refurbished seats, footrests 

and backrests, most of which we 

had brought from New Zealand. 

Without our custom fit-out of 

the kayak, we simply would not 

have been able to finish the race. 

We took all our dehydrated 

meals from New Zealand as we 

believe Backcountry is the best. 

We took much more warm gear 

this time, as four years ago I 

suffered badly from extreme cold 

in the later stages of the race. 

That didn’t happen this year. 

We also packed more calories in 

our 18-hour race bags which we 

sourced from supermarkets in 

the Yukon. We ate about 4000 

calories per day each. 

I guess all your equipment is 

vital but was there any gear you 

couldn’t do without? 

Inflatable seat pads are the big 

winner. The seat pads protect 

your hamstrings and without 

these we would have been out of 

the race on day two. 

How did you get into these 

long-distance races? 

A race called the Wild 

Descent, which occurred in 

2013 and 2104, it was four days 

long and we raced the length 

of the Clutha River in double 

kayaks from Wanaka to the 

Catlins. 

What’s your next adventure? 

We are team kayakers for a 

multisport race at Queenstown 

this weekend called the Peak 

To Peak. Luckily the kayaking 

section is only about 7km long so 

we might just manage it.

Hillmorton High School 

Inspiring academic 

excellence, leadership, 

and a love of learning 


Diversity key 

to school’s 

character 

Kia ora koutou, talofa lava, 

warm greetings to you all. 

What makes each school unique? 

International Research (PISA) has 

shown that there is more difference 

in terms of academic results within 

schools, than across schools, 

and John Hattie’s 

research tells us that 

the largest predictor 

of academic success 

is the student and 

his/her family. This 

means that at a 

school level we must 

employ the very best 

teachers, as they also 

make a difference. 

We are fortunate 

at Hillmorton High 

School to have highly 

skilled teachers who 

are able to extend 

student learning, no 

Ann 

Brokenshire 

matter where the student’s current 

learning is at. If we had “added 

value” measures across schools 

rather than “league tables” I feel 

confident these would show that 

our students’ learning is indeed 

accelerated. 

So, what else about Hillmorton 

High School is unique? We are 

a diverse community in a good 

number of ways with enough 

difference to ensure students mix 

on a daily basis with students 

who come from very different 

backgrounds to their own. 

Hillmorton High School also has 

a large number of students with 

serious multiple disabilities. Most 

of these young people learn within 

our Upland Unit but many have 

one or two mainstream classes 

too. They teach our 

students to be kind and 

gentle. 

What qualities and 

skills do our students 

develop when learning 

in this environment? 

We asked our senior 

council members this 

last year. They told us 

that the most important 

quality they develop in 

our unique environment 

is “openness”. And in 

terms of skills? Their 

interpersonal skills are 

outstanding. These two 

things – having well developed 

interpersonal skills, and being open 

to learning from and with a range 

of people different to oneself – are 

what makes our students highly 

employable and very successful in 

their chosen futures. 

This is what makes Hillmorton High 

School unique. We are very proud 

of our students!

The AB’s were asked questions by 

HoD Physical Education Melissa

Fern and NZ Sevens team member 

— and it was great to hear some 

positive messages on a range of 

topics. 

During the assembly students were 

awarded various certificates and 

Isley Fakalata with Ardie Savea. 

then selected students were given 

some ball-handling tips from our All 

Blacks. 

Our congratulations to our 

awardees who have displayed a 

commitment to our school goals 

and giving of their personal best. 

Developing leadership skills 

Throughout school, there are many opportunities for 

leadership development. 

One that is now part of our calendar is the Limitless 

Conference, which focuses on developing young people 

in Year 10. Twelve of our students recently attended this 

conference, taking part in workshops and presentations 

over the three days it ran. 

The event, organised by Christchurch young person 

April McLennan, aims, the website states, “to empower 

students to hold greater confidence and awareness 

in their unique strengths, values and passions – 

understanding more of who they are and what they 

bring, and how this may translate to work with purpose 

that addresses some of the most significant challenges 

our communities and world face.” 

We look forward to our students walking tall and serving 

in leadership roles both at school and beyond. 

Pupils do well in tech contest 

Congratulations to the 

following students who 

recently achieved great results 

in the ICAS Digital Technology 

competition.

Ardern to launch 

suffrage anniversary 

PRIME Minister Jacinda 

Ardern will help launch 

celebrations of the 125th 

anniversary of women’s 

suffrage in New Zealand 

at a special event next 

month. 

Ms Ardern will be the 

keynote speaker at the 

event at the Isaac Theatre 

Royal on September 

13, underlining the role 

of Christchurch as the 

birthplace of the suffrage 

movement. 

Kate Sheppard migrated 

to Christchurch from Liverpool 

in 1869. From here 

she was the leading figure 

in making New Zealand 

the first country where 

women had the right to 

vote in elections in 1893. 

Students from Christchurch 

schools will be able to 

take part in a question and 

answer session with Ms 

Ardern. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

said: “It’s especially fitting 

to have the prime minister 

speaking at this event, inspiring 

the next generation 

Kate Sheppard 

of young female leaders in 

our city.” 

“We have such a strong 

history of female leaders 

– not only can we lay 

claim to being the home 

of Kate Sheppard as she 

spearheaded the suffrage 

campaign, Christchurch 

produced the first woman 

elected to Parliament in 

1933, Elizabeth McCombs, 

and the first Minister for 

Women’s Affairs, Dame 

Anne Hercus.” 

Jacinda Ardern 

It is the first of several 

events in September and 

October celebrating the 

anniversary of women’s 

suffrage in the city. 

Proceeds from ticket 

sales will go to the YWCA 

Emergency and Transition 

Housing Programme for 

women and children.

Opinion 

•If you want to ask Ms Dalziel a 

question, email mayor@ccc.govt.nz. Put 

Reader’s Question in the subject line 

I WAS walking through town 

the other day and a couple of 

workmen saw me approaching. 

“Here comes the mayor,” one 

said. “You’d better be working 

hard,” I replied with a smile. 

“We’re helping fix your city,” 

they said, so I stopped and 

thanked them. 

“So what are you doing about 

the chlorine in our water then,” 

was their question. I explained 

we would have been ordered 

to chlorinate the water if we 

hadn’t agreed to do so, and 

at that point, we would have 

lost control of all the decisionmaking 

from then on. But 

what are we doing and what 

about the water bottling plant 

at Belfast – what does that have 

to do with it? 

It’s interesting how little 

fact filters through social 

media channels these days. I 

explained that the city council 

Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel 

The straight shooters 

is putting chlorine in at the 

pump stations, so for the 

pumps where all the well-heads 

are above ground, or able to be 

isolated, no chlorine is going 

into the water supply at all. We 

are also planning to put UV 

treatment into the mix which 

will help. 

We then talked about the 

water bottling plant at Belfast. 

I explained it is Environment 

Canterbury that controls resource 

consents for water take, 

and in this particular case, an 

existing resource consent had 

been included when the property 

was bought. 

It was great to get direct feedback 

and to bust some myths 

at the same time. I thanked 

them for stopping me. You 

don’t often get to explain what’s 

really going on when the news 

media only allow for a 10sec 

sound-bite.

Kia ora and welcome to this edition of the SYD 

Retail, Industry, Hospitality and Arts all come together 

in the Sydenham Quarter to support each other for the 

betterment of Sydenham. Sydenham has a proud history 

and is experiencing a wonderful renaissance, with new 

businesses and residential developments. SYDM Quarter 

is thrilled to welcome some awesome new businesses 

and invite you to check out their profiles on our website 

www.sydm.co.nz – be sure to pay them a visit next 

time you are in our neighbourhood! 

Last month we were delighted to host our first “Pay as 

You Feel” community dinner initiated by SYDM Quarter 

Engagement Coordinator, Ailey Ong. 

Food was provided for this event 

by local greengrocers, sustainable 

artisan producers and catering 

businesses, before it “became 

waste” and went to Canterbury 

landfills. This was a wonderful night 

of community togetherness and 

we are proud to have brought this 

to Sydenham. Proceeds from this 

night will be donated to Sydenham 

Heritage Trust 

who are endearing 

to re build on the 

Heritage site a 

SYDM Community 

venue and to 

house the old 

church relics and 

to conserve this 

part of Sydenham 

history. 

Grateful thanks to the volunteers from Canterbury and 

businesses who made this event so successful – Alan Wall, 

Briarlee Tutuaha, Jesse Stephens, Jazmine Cooper, Jacqui, 

Jennifer & Olivia Holanda, Kenny Abass, Teresa, William & 

Andrew Lindsay, Shane Victor, Marine Mathieu and Verna 

Curwood. Thanks also to our business support, generously 

provided by Raeward Fresh Harewood, Parsley and Sage 

Corporate and Private Catering and Mori Mori Izakaya 

Restaurant. 

SYDM Quarter’s next “Pay As You Feel” Dinner will be 

Hosted by Raeward Fresh Harewood, on Wednesday 29th 

August. Numbers will be limited, so make sure you book your 

place on our Facebook page @SYDM.QTR. Proceeds from this 

will go towards Sydenham Heritage Trust. 

Our August Networking 

was hosted by Manscape 

in Sandyford Street. 

This unique Grooming 

Salon even has a ‘Man 

Cave’ in which to wait 

for your appointment 

and, guys, it’s even set 

up so you can take your 

son or nephew in for a 

haircut at the same time 

as yours. Thank you 

so much to our hosts – 

Annika, Natalie, Marine, 

Georgie and the talented 

Manscape team. 

SYDM Quarter holds 

a monthly networking 

event and in July, this was 

hosted at The Fermentist. 

In addition to our social 

networking, we were 

treated to delicious food 

platters provided by The 

Fermentist with boutique 

beers and ciders for us to 

enjoy. Kirsten, Simon and 

Jo looked after us well & 

gave us all an informative 

tour through the brewery. 

Check them out at 380

Explorations and discovery in 

ADVeRTORIAL 

Fermentation 

M Quarter Newsletter! 

Up coming events coming up in Sydenham 

The Fermentist is a microbrewery, taproom and 

café in Sydenham. 

With beer at its roots and sustainability in its 

heart, the Fermentist team look at their place in 

the world a bit differently. There’s no denying that 

making beer uses a lot of water and energy but 

The Fermentist is determined to use its resources 

more sustainably. 

Their mission is to bring people together 

over great beers and food, trying new things 

and discovering how they can make a positive 

environmental difference through the way they 

work. 

Living up to its name, The Fermentist is about 

explorations and discovery in fermentation. On 

tap you’ll find a core selection of beers, cider and 

kombucha, with additional seasonal beers being 

introduced. 

There’s an easy-drinking Kiwi Pale Ale, made 

with Taiheke, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka hops - a 

great beer for all occasions. For something a little 

bit sour, try the Berliner Weisse - drink it as is, or 

with a shot of raspberry fruit syrup as they do in 

Berlin. There’s also a Red Ale, an American amber 

ale style beer with a Kiwi twist, and a Dry Cider 

full of character, made from 100% New Zealand 

apple juice. The first seasonal beer has just been 

released on tap, an American Brown Ale, and in 

the fermenters two more seasonal beers are doing 

their business. A Czech Pilsner will be on tap early 

September and a dark larger mid-October. 

In the taproom you’ll find a flavoursome menu 

designed for sharing, using seasonal vegetables 

from their own brewery garden as well as kimchi, 

sauerkraut and fermented pickles. They source 

seasonal food from local producers, and preserve 

and ferment as much as possible to limit food 

waste. 

To reduce their carbon footprint, The Fermentist 

use solar panels for a proportion of electricity 

usage and hot water heating. They also compost 

waste, harvest rain water, and focus on recycling 

to reduce waste going to landfill. They have 

sourced ethical products, such as staff uniforms 

and toilet paper. You might see The Fermentist’s 

electric hybrid making deliveries around town. 

Take a Fermentist brew home with you (and 

reduce packaging) by bringing in your own vessel 

to the fill your own taps, or purchase a reusable 

Fermentist glass 1 litre bottle. 

You can also find The Fermentist brews around 

town at Casa Publica, Coasters, The Carlton, 

The Bog, Pomeroy’s, Fox and Ferret Shirley, Fox 

and Ferret Riccarton, Tavern Harewood, Coalgate 

Tavern, South Bar at Christchurch Airport, and 

Amazonita. 

Visit The Fermentist at 380 Colombo Street, 

Sydenham, Christchurch. 

– in addition to our monthly networking events, we will have a 

TWO breakfast hosted by SYDM Quarter for businesses to meet 

develop a forum to address business condition issues. We have 

received a request from Dr Duncan Webb, he would like to also 

attend this Business breakfast series on the 27th August. The 

next breakfast will be on 1st of October, 2018. We hope that all 

businesses will see the value of this and will attend. 

– we are working on a concept to activate vacant land within 

Sydenham as an Artisan Corner. We are running a Facebook 

poll on Artisan Corner to gauge community support – please 

head to our Facebook page @SYDM.QTR to share your views 

and stay tuned for upcoming events! 

On September 1, 2018 we will be having a “community day” to 

view the “Artisan Corner” plan and Sydenham businesses will 

provide a fun filled day full of activities. The day will kick off 

at 9am to 10am with a Pay As You Feel “Gourmet food-box”, 

proceeds will go to Sydenham Heritage Trust. 

The drawing room will have workshops. 

Sydenham Heritage Trust will run short guided historical walks 

(1 hour) starting from 11am around a small part of Sydenham, 

paying homage to the past using photos and heritage “objects” 

as to what it look like then and what is in its places now. 

Great beers, 

great food 

We are all about explorations 

and discovery in fermentation, 

and we want to push ourselves and 

challenge perceptions about what this can mean. 

• Straightforward flavoursome menu • Right sized portions • Friendly staff 

There are cafe’s and restaurant and retailers along Colombo 

Street. Plenty to see, visit and discover when you come. For 

more information and details please go to SYDM Quarter 

Facebook and website.

Develop a taste for 

tangy tamarillo 

• By Diana Noonan 

TAMARILLO are a 

favourite cool-season fruit, 

maturing from March or 

April, and well into winter. 

Depending on variety 

and pruning regimes, 

they will even continue 

to produce into early 

December. 

Three main varieties of 

tamarillo are now available. 

The reds, with their deep 

purple-red skin and darkred 

colouring around black 

seeds, are especially sought 

after for decorating dessert 

dishes. 

Amber varieties, with 

a golden skin tinged with 

a red blush, are said to be 

the sweetest tamarillos, 

although the fruit tends 

to be smaller than those 

of other varieties. Gold 

tamarillos are large and 

fleshy and are a little 

sweeter than the reds. 

The tamarillo is a 

subtropical plant that is 

frost-tender to -2 deg C. 

Grown under cover, they 

become susceptible to 

sclerotinia rot. 

This limits the areas 

where the trees can be 

planted although gardeners 

in marginal areas can 

hedge their bets by 

planting close to a heatretaining 

wall and under 

the eaves of a house with a 

sunny north-facing aspect. 

Tamarillo seriously 

resent wet feet so excellent 

drainage is essential. 

However, their shallow 

roots also render the trees 

susceptible to drought so 

moisture must be provided 

during summer. 

The key to knowing 

when to pick tamarillo is to 

be familiar with the variety 

you are growing and to 

FLAVOUR: A well-tended tamarillo tree will 

produce up to 20kg of fruit. 

pick when the entire fruit 

is the colour described on 

the growing label. 

If the stalk has begun to 

turn yellow, and is slightly 

loose where it meets the 

fruit, this is another sign of 

full ripeness. 

Picked at this stage, the 

fruit will keep for up to 

two weeks in a fridge or 

for a week in a bowl at 

room temperature. If you 

pick fruit when there is 

still a ring of green around 

the top (the stalk end), 

the fruit won’t ripen to 

sweetness and will remain 

acidic. 

Store tamarillo with 

other fruit, such as apples, 

to hasten ripening. 

Tamarillo (skinned) can 

be eaten raw as a dessert 

or with breakfast cereal, 

used in baking or to make 

relishes, chutneys and 

jams. 

They can also be used to 

make salsa, can be grilled 

with garlic butter, and 

used as a sauce for grilled 

meats. The pulp (or the 

entire fruit, peeled) can be 

frozen. 

Easy peeling is achieved 

by placing the whole raw 

fruits in a bowl of boiling 

water. 

Rinse them in cold 

water, pierce with the tip of 

a sharp knife, and the skins 

will come away easily.

Singapore return in 

premium economy 

• By Kate Preece 

THERE’S something 

nice about being able to 

jump a queue. It’s about as 

satisfying as seeing those 

bright orange ‘priority’ 

labels being attached to 

your luggage. 

Singapore Airlines is 

bringing the A350-900 

to Christchurch from 

January and with it comes 

the chance to have all 

this and more – and we’re 

not even talking about 

business class. 

THe A350 has 24 

premium economy seats, 

set out in a 2-4-2 row 

configuration. On top of 

special treatment, you 

get a wider seat (49.5cm 

versus economy’s 46cm), 

can recline 10deg further 

back than in the 187 

economy seats, and have 

your own reading light at 

armrest level. 

When we tested out the 

A350, my favourite freebie 

was the noise-cancelling 

headphones. Ideal for 

night flights and listening 

to what dances across your 

34cm HD LCD screen. As 

for the PlayStation-esque 

controller that navigates 

the inflight KrisWorld 

entertainment system … 

you might want to ask 

for help from a nearby 

teenager. 

If you plan ahead, 

though, you can 

download the Singapore 

Airlines app, which will 

enable you to preview 

what programmes will be 

available on your flight, 

mark them as favourites 

and, once onboard, pair 

your own personal device 

and use this to jumpstart 

those movie credits. 

If you are tall, it will be 

easier for you to access the 

overhead compartments 

(the A350 is known for 

its high ceiling) and you 

will not feel hemmed in 

by your fellow passengers. 

Securing the front row 

of premium economy 

provides an impressive

and entertainment system. You may need a 

teenager to guide you through it.

amount of leg room. 

For the more vertically 

challenged, the wider seat 

allows for catnapping – 

that’s snoozing in a curled 

up sort of fashion. 

The food and beverage 

lists are enticing and vary 

well to cater to a range of 

tastes. 

You can start the day 

with waffles for breakfast, 

or get into the mood with 

some dim sum. For the 

uber-organised, ‘premium 

economy book the cook’ 

means you can lock in 

your main course up 

to 24 hours before your 

flight (note: not available 

ex-Christchurch, but 

certainly ex-Singapore). 

Whatever choices you 

make, you will soon 

discover the service is 

impeccable with this 

airline – rivalling our very 

own.

Big finals weekend on 

UC showdown: Christ’s College v Chch Boys’ High 

• By Gordon Findlater 

IN TERMS of secondary school 

sporting achievements it would 

be difficult to trump winning the 

Maadi Cup. 

However, Christ’s College 

first XV captain and lock Sam 

Darry says that will be the case 

if his side can defeat bitter rivals 

Christchurch Boys’ High School on 

Saturday. 

In March Darry was part of the 

Christ’s eight that won the Maadi 

Cup, the pinnacle of high school 

rowing. Now he will captain 

the first XV in their first UC 

Championship final appearance 

since 2001. 

“The way it’s come together 

playing Boys’ High, I honestly 

think it will be bigger. Rugby has 

always been my No 1 sport and to 

win in a final against Boys’ High 

at their home ground would be 

awesome,” said Darry. 

“At the same time, the Maadi 

victory was amazing because a lot 

of hard work goes into that for one 

race.” Christ’s last won the first XV 

competition in 1996 when it had a

much different format. If they can 

break the 22-year drought, Darry 

will join an exclusive club of players 

who have won the competition and 

the Maadi Cup. 

Christ’s set up the dream final 

against CBHS after a nail-biting 

24-23 semi-final win over St Bede’s 

College at Upper. For Darry, it was 

a case of getting the monkey off 

their back after stumbling at the 

semi-final stage last year and in 

2016. 

Now the attention is on CBHS. 

When the two sides met in May, 

Christ’s were defeated 16-32 on 

their home turf. “Once we lost, 

we wanted to get another crack at 

them because we don’t think we put 

our best foot forward in that game. 

But here we are – we get another 

chance so hopefully we can redeem 

ourselves.” 

The final will be Darry’s 52nd 

appearance for the first XV – he 

is the third Christ’s player in the 

last 20 years to play more than 50 

games. The others were Damian 

McKenzie and Carl Manu. 

The match kicks off at noon at 

CBHS.

Pat Smith Trophy – Keas success in threes 


THE WORD brotherhood is 

commonly used to describe the 

culture inside sport teams with 

a strong bond. 

The Linwood Keas have taken 

a literal approach to their brotherhood 

this season. The premier 

squad features two sets of three 

brothers. 

For Paul, Matthew and Erwin 

Sauni, Sunday’s final against 

the Hornby Panthers won’t be 

new – they’ve won the big prize 

together previously. 

However, this year they are 

joined by Thoren, Jiordan and 

Domanyc Fidow-Kele. As if 

going for a premiership title 

with one set of a three brothers 

wasn’t rare enough. 

The Fidow-Keles come from a 

league and union background. 

Their father Tala Kele propped 

for Canterbury and Marist 

Albion in the 1980s and 1990s. 

They grew up playing for Marist 

before switching to league in 

their teens. 

Thoren and Jiordan have 

played plenty of 13 and 15- 

man code games together, but 

it wasn’t until this year that 

18-year-old Domanyc completed 

the trio. 

“Growing up watching them 

play, I’ve always wanted to play

alongside them. I finally got 

the opportunity this year, I was 

pretty proud to run out with 

them,” said Domanyc. 

For the Saunis, there is also 

that feeling of pride with them 

now in their third season together 

at the Keas. 

“It’s just a good feeling to 

make it here with my brothers. 

We grew up together and it’s 

good to still be together playing 

what we love,” said Matthew. 

Both sets of brothers admit 

they aren’t afraid to call each 

other out when criticism is due. 

in the final, while Carlton- 

Redcliffs will meet Harewood in 

their decider. 

The two top men’s sides have 

met twice this season with 

Marist winning 5-3 in June after 

Harewood took out the first 

encounter 4-3 in April.

dominant force in men’s hockey,

Perhaps it has even helped them 

to achieve what they have in the 

sport. 

“If it wasn’t for them, I 

wouldn’t have made it this far. 

I’ve got to give credit to them 

for the way they raised me and 

roughed me up,” said Erwin. 

The Fidow-Keles and Saunis 

say it’s not just their bond that 

has created the team’s family 

vibe. “This whole club itself is 

really family-orientated. A lot of 

the boys have their kids playing 

in the junior grade. I’m just glad 

to be a part of it,” said Jiordan.

section five years in a row. 

Harewood coach Matt Ling 

said both teams are ruthless 

at penalty corner time which 

had contributed to some high 

scoring matches. He said striker 

Andrew Sherratt and midfielder 

Ryan Cocking will be key to the 

victory. 

Marist look to be peaking at 

• By Jacob Page 

THE LINWOOD Keas are 

aiming to become the first team 

since Eastern Suburbs in 1981 

to win three consecutive grandfinals. 

The Keas will go in to Sunday’s 

Pat Smith Trophy final against 

the Hornby Panthers at Rugby 

League Park as favourites on 

the verge of completing an 

undefeated season. 

Eastern achieved the threepeat 

in 1981 after Papanui 

dominated the 1970s by winning 

seven titles in eight years 

between 1971 and 1978. 

Hornby last won the title in 

2013. 

The Keas blitzed the Northern 

Bulldogs a fortnight ago to gwo 

straight through to the final. 

The Panthers have had to do 

it the hard way, winning their 

sudden-death semi-final 50-6 a 

fortnight ago, before travelling 

to Kaiapoi to beat the Bulldogs 

16-6. 

Panthers coach Jed Lawrie said 

his team would not be overcome 

by the occasion this time around 

and believed they were playing 

their best rugby league of the 

season. 

“I think we had our best 

attacking game of the season 

against Halswell and our best 

the right time, with midfielder 

and former Timaru product 

Andrew Ross leading the way in 

both attack and defence. After 

four seasons in the premier 

league it will be their first final. 

Marist coach Josh Kumbaroff 

said the team know they can 

beat the defending champions, 

having taken the Challenge 

Shield off them in their June 

defensive effort against the 

Bulldogs,” Lawrie said. 

He said James Baxendale’s 

versatility would be crucial, 

while in form winger Charlie 

Charlie would be an attacking 

threat. 

“We are a mature team this 

year,” Lawrie said. “In previous 

years, some of the younger 

guys have looked up to the 

experienced heads in the team, 

but this year we are all on the 

same level.” 

The Keas have won both

provider for attacking weapons 

like winger Ben Ilalio and frontrower 

Jiordan Fidow-Kele who 

each scored hat-tricks against the 

Hornets in their previous game.

victory. “I’m picking there will 

be a lot of the match played in 

the mid-field because both team 

have very good attack units,” he 

said. 

Carlton-Redcliffs will go 

into their final as favourites 

after taking out the roundrobin 

competition in dominant 

fashion. They lost just one of 12 

games during the round-robin.

Possibilities wide open in NRL play-off run-in 

WITH TWO rounds of the 

Telstra Premiership regular 

season to go, it’s technically 

possible for either the Warriors 

or Broncos to finish with the 

minor premiership or miss the 

top-eight altogether. 

There are still plenty of questions 

to be answered at the end 

of one of the closest NRL seasons 

in memory, with eight teams a 

mathematical chance of finishing 

the regular season on top. 

While the finishing order is still 

to be determined, the make-up 

of the finals contenders is more 

certain. The top-six now guaranteed 

to play finals football and the 

Wests Tigers the only side currently 

outside the eight that still 

has a chance of sneaking in. 

Brisbane did their chances of 

holding onto a play-off berth a 

world of good by beating South 

Sydney tonight, with the Warriors 

now in the most precarious 

position of the top half of the table 

with matches against Penrith 

and Canberra to come. 

Both those matches will be 

played in Auckland but neither 

will be easy wins – the Panthers 

are finals-bound and will be 

desperate to bounce back from a 

shock loss to Newcastle while the 

Raiders are fresh from knocking 

the Sydney Roosters off the top 

of the table. The Warriors’ home 

record is only the 11th best in the 

league this season, with five wins 

and five losses. 

The Broncos have a slight 

edge over the Warriors on forand-against 

and will finish their 

season with a home clash against 

the struggling Sea Eagles after 

this week’s blockbuster against 

the Roosters. 

Both the Warriors and Broncos 

can lock up a finals spot by winning 

either of their remaining 

games. Even if one of those sides 

lose both their games, the ninthplaced 

Tigers will need to beat 

the Sea Eagles and Rabbitohs and 

overturn a poor points differential 

(-44) to grab eighth spot. 

Meanwhile, at the foot of the 

ladder, the 15th-placed Eels will 

visit the 16th-placed Cowboys 

on Friday night, with a wooden 

spoon potentially up for grabs in 

what will be Johnathan Thurston’s 

final home game for North 

Queensland.

SKY HAS completely lost 

the plot with its recently 

added eSports pop-up 

channel. 

eSports, an abbreviation 

for electronic sports, is 

defined as a form of sports 

where the primary aspects 

of the sport are facilitated 

by the competitive playing 

of video games. 

If you think this is about 

to turn into a rant about 

video games not being a 

sport you’re wrong, it has 

a place and a market but it 

doesn’t belong on Sky and 

I’ll explain why. 

Here’s the thing . . . if you 

like watching other people 

play or compete against 

others in video games then 

you’re highly likely adept 

with the internet and will 

happily stream the content 

you’re after.

eSports doesn’t belong on Sky 


PETER FULTON could 

be a dark horse to succeed 

Gary Stead as Canterbury 

Cricket’s head coach. 

Current assistant Brendon 

Donkers has been 

tipped as the front-runner 

to take the helm for Canterbury 

this summer. However, 

Fulton – Canterbury’s 

all-time leader in matches, 

runs, catches and matches 

as captain – has stated he 

will apply for the position 

if and when it is advertised. 

“If it came up I would. 

I’ve got aspirations to 

coach at a high level. If it 

came up and you didn’t apply 

then it might be quite 

a while until it came up 

again,” said Fulton. 

Since pulling the stumps 

on his player career at 

the end of the 2016/2017 

summer Fulton has begun 

a pathway to coaching. 

Fulton was the batting 

coach for the New Zealand 

under-19 team and has 

been part of the coaching 

staff with New Zealand 

Cricket’s winter training 

squad over the past two 

years. 

He is also the coach of 

Christ’s College’s first XI 

and has spent four years 

coaching rugby over the 

winter with Christchurch 

Football Club’s premier 

reserve side. 

Does market research 

still exist? 

The place of eSport on 

Sky reminds me of when 

Coliseum Sports Media 

outbid Sky for the rights to 

the PGA Tour in 2014. This 

meant golf fans would have 

to subscribe to an online 

streaming service. 

Let’s do some market research. 

To me your average 

PGA Tour consumer is a lot 

of dads I know who get up 

on Sunday, sit on the couch 

and enjoy the third round 

with the simple click of the 

TV remote likely over a 

coffee. 

Let’s face it he was 

never going to whip out 

the laptop, login and then 

hook up the HDMI cable 

to the flat screen. Yes that’s 

not the case with everyone 

but it’s why the concept 

DARK HORSE: Peter 

Fulton (right) has 

stated he is keen to 

succeed Gary Stead 

as Canterbury’s head 

coach. 

Whether or not Canterbury 

Cricket think Fulton 

could be the man for the 

top job is another question. 

Current assistant coach 

Donkers will see moving 

to the head role as the next 

logical progression is his 

coaching career. 

“If Canterbury Cricket 

or the Canterbury Cricket 

board thought I was the 

best person lead the team 

forward then it would be 

a privilege to be the head 

coach . . . if they don’t 

think I’m the best person 

then so be it. It has to be 

what’s best for the team,” 

said Donkers. 


bombed and whoever 

thought it wasn’t always 

going to probably shouldn’t 

be involved in a marketing 

or television role. It’s also 

worth noting this was in 

2014 – pre the fibre roll out 

for many. 

To me Sky’s new GINX 

Esports channel is a replica 

of what happened in 2014, 

just flipped in reverse. 

It’s place on mainstream 

TV just means that dad’s 

pimply-faced teenager is 

only going to be hogging 

the remote, denying him of 

watching Tiger, so they can 

watch a computer whiz in a 

simulator drive like Lewis 

Hamilton.

www.blackwells.co.nz 

Canterbury Cricket also 

has current performance 

squad coach Dion Ebrahim 

– another highly-touted 

coach – who could take a 

step forward with Stead’s 

departure. 

But, with a person of 

Fulton’s pedigree keen to 

give back to Canterbury 

Cricket in a coaching 

capacity it would surely 

make sense to have him 

involved somewhere in the 

equation. 

Donkers – who is seen by 

many as the favourite for 

the head coaching role – 

has no issue in heaping on 

Fulton’s credentials. 

“I’m sure he would make 

a great coach. Tactically 

he’s very good and he has 

a lot of respect from the 

players,’’ said Donkers. 

The biggest question 

could be around how Canterbury 

Cricket structures 

itself going forward. Stead 

took on a heavy workload 

as both director of cricket 

and head coach. Would 

it be possible to accommodate 

positions of prominence 

for Fulton, Donkers 

and Ebrahim? 

“Whether we could work 

together as a head coach 

and assistant coach I don’t 

know. I’ve got no prior 

knowledge to make an 

accurate comment,” said 

Donkers.

AUCTION 

Redcliffs: 19 Glenstrae Road 

My elderly vendors are very serious 

sellers. They have already vacated and 

their future is hanging in the balance, 

reliant on the sale of their home either 

before or at auction. At 94 and 81 they 

have had enough. After the trauma of 

the quakes and a substantial repair, they 

wish to move to the comfort of a 

retirement village. Located on the 

lower slopes of Glenstrae Road, this is 

an awesome home with views to enjoy 

day in and day out. I invite you to our 

open homes, or view by appointment.

What to ask at an open home 

It’s easy to get carried away when you’re searching through 

property listings for the house of your dreams. But if you’re not 

careful, home buying can become a nightmare. 

“Buying a property is a complex and 

potentially stressful process, not least 

because it involves such a scary amount 

of money,” says Kevin Lampen-Smith, 

chief executive at the Real Estate Agents 

Authority (REAA). 

“It’s smart to do as much as you can to 

reduce the risk of unwelcome surprises or 

unexpected costs further down the line.” 

In the first instance, Lampen-Smith 

recommends drawing up a list of questions 

to ask about properties you’re interested in. 

“Remember that you can ask the real estate 

agent anything you like about the property,” 

he says. “They are also required to tell you 

everything they know and not withhold any 

details.” 

If you’re not sure what to ask, here’s a handy 

list of questions. Open homes can be busy, 

so ask the agent if you can talk on the phone, 

or send questions via email. 

- Have there been any issues with the 

property, such as earthquake damage or 

water-tightness? 

- Are there any offers on the property, 

or have any contracts been cancelled by 

potential buyers? 

- How long has it been on the market? 

What is the seller’s preferred settlement 

date? 

- What maintenance, repairs or 

improvements have been carried out? Do 

these have permits? 

- Is there a Land Information 

Memorandum (LIM) available or a building 

SALE BY DEADLINES CLOSING 

report prepared by an accredited property 

surveyor? 

- Is the property well-maintained? What 

condition are the roof, piles, wiring, and 

plumbing in? 

- Is the property insulated? If so, to what 

degree (eg walls, underfloor, ceiling)? 

- Is there any risk of methamphetamine 

(P) contamination? 

- If there is a body corporate (usually for 

apartments), what does that entail? 

- Are there any issues with neighbours or 

planned developments? 

“If you are seriously considering making an 

offer, you will need to do your own research 

and seek professional advice. It may well 

become your home, so you need to know as 

much about it as possible to save unhappy 

surprises later,” Lampen-Smith says. 

“Knowing the right questions to ask is a 

good starting point.”
